Question Your answer Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager compatibility

What type of system do you have? (rooftop, split, conventional)

Sensi thermostats work in many building/facility settings and are compatible with most 24VAC conventional heating and cooling, heat-only, cool-only, and heat pump/geothermal systems. Whether your building HVAC units are big or small, on the roof or on the ground, the quickest way to confirm if Sensi thermostats will work for your system is to use our wire picker tool >

Sensi thermostats are NOT compatible with the following types of building/facility systems: • VAV systems • Line voltage (high voltage) • Millivolt systems (very low voltage) • Communicating systems (BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks) - (Except in cases with a wiring setup) • Evaporative coolers

Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager works with any Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostat and is designed for applications where building management systems are cost prohibitive or unnecessary. It’s compatible with HVAC systems in most facilities, but because there is such a wide

range of products on the market, you’ll need to confirm that Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager will work for your facility. Based on your answers to the following questions, you’ll be able to determine your system’s compatibility:

System compatibility

How many thermostats are you managing?

Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager is ideal for managing five or more thermostats. If you’re managing less than five thermostats, we recommend using the intuitive Sensi mobile app to help manage your facility’s comfort.

Are each of your thermostats covered by

a wireless network?

Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager requires thermostats to be connected to a Wi-Fi network.

What type of Wi-Fi network do you have?

Sensi Wi-Fi Thermostats use an 802.11n 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi radio and are compatible with most 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks. Sensi Multiple Thermostat Manager is compatible with the following wireless security: • WPA2 (AES) – Recommended • WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode (AES and TKIP) • WPA (TKIP), and WEP (64/128bit) (For WPA2 Enterprise networks, we recommend creating a separate permanent guest network)

Is there a common wire?

Today, most Wi-Fi thermostats have new features such as Wi-Fi radios and LED color screens that require the unit be powered at all times. Thermostats can get this constant power through a common wire or “c-wire.” It is recommended to use a ‘C’ or ‘Common’ thermostat wire when available. For thermostat installations where a ‘C’ or ‘Common’ thermostat wire is not available, it is recommended to use an 802.11n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi access point or wireless router that supports IEEE PSP for optimal battery life.

Are heat pumps units used? All Sensi’s are compatible with heat pumps, but they require a common wire to operate efficiently.
